 Mali renames colonial French street names Mali followed Burkina Faso and Niger on Wednesday in renaming streets and squares in its capital to get rid of their French colonial names, AFP reported. Streets bearing the names of members of France's colonial administration have been rebaptised in Bamako, according to a decree by the junta chief. Cedeao Avenue (the French acronym for the Economic Community of West African States or ECOWAS) is also now named after a new strategic confederation that Mali has formed with Burkina Faso and Niger – the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). In all, nearly 25 names have been replaced, among them boulevards, streets, squares and public establishments. Niger and Burkina Faso have already made several changes to street and monument names in the last two years. In October, Niger renamed several historic sites in its capital Niamey which previously bore references to old colonial master France. Mali has been ruled by the military since back-to-back coups ...

 Katsina Governor Approves 2025 Budget


On Wednesday, Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda formally signed the state's 2025 budget, named 'Building Your Future II,' into law.


Originally proposed at ₦682.2 billion, the budget was revised by the state House of Assembly, which added ₦10 billion, bringing the final total to ₦692.2 billion.


Governor Radda had initially presented the budget proposal on November 25, 2024.


During the signing ceremony at the Government House in Katsina, the governor commended the state assembly for its dedication to passing a budget focused on fostering development in the coming year. He also acknowledged the significant contributions of various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in crafting a well-structured and impactful financial plan for the state.


Radda highlighted, “Our 2025 budget underscores our commitment to capital development. Katsina’s recurrent expenditure now constitutes 22.8% of the total budget, a notable reduction from 28% last year, while over 77% is allocated to capital projects.” He emphasized that this reallocation reflects his administration’s focus on infrastructure, education, and agriculture.


“The 2025 budget builds on our achievements in 2024 and sets the stage for continued growth,” Radda added.


Earlier, the Speaker of the Katsina State House of Assembly, Nasir Daura, described the budget as the outcome of a comprehensive legislative process. He explained that an additional ₦10 billion was identified during budget defense sessions with MDAs, which resulted in the increased final appropriation.


“This thorough review ensures that the budget addresses the real needs of our people. The revised ₦692.2 billion will provide a strong foundation for improving living standards and fostering development across the state,” Daura stated.


He also praised Governor Radda’s commitment to the welfare of Katsina’s residents and expressed confidence that the budget’s implementation will drive significant progress in 2025.


The 2025 budget prioritizes key sectors such as education, agriculture, and other essential areas, reinforcing the administration’s focus on enhancing the state’s economic and social infrastructure.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
